I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.

Michael Phelps
You can't put a limit anything.
Michael Phelps
Being compared to Ian Thorpe, that could be one of the greatest compliments you could ever get in swimming - being compared to him and Mark Spitz.
Michael Phelps
I think the biggest things I am looking forward to is getting new faces into the sport. Getting kids who could be afraid of water to feel comfortable in the pool.
Michael Phelps
I treat every race the same. We all wanted to swim fast today and give something back to the crowd.
Michael Phelps
I've been able to get an excitement back in the water.
Michael Phelps
I want to test my maximum and see how much I can do. And I want to change the world of swimming.
